When asked to reflect on what being recognized as an MVP means to them, here’s what these first time MVP recipients had to say:

“This is my 11th year in the Sitecore Community, so I am not a stranger. However, this was my first time applying for MVP due to my colleagues at Perficient supporting me, acting as my sounding board, and reviewing my content. I have a true passion for helping my clients achieve their digital goals and utilizing Sitecore’s products to get them there. I can’t wait to use my MVP designation to take my Sitecore knowledge and my career to the next level and to elevate my clients’ digital experiences.” –Emily Lord, Portfolio Specialist

“I’m so excited to receive my first Sitecore MVP!  Thank you for this recognition.  It has been a great year and I’ve learned so much.  I shared my knowledge, but most importantly, I’ve met so many new people.  I’d like to thank my family for all the extra time I spent writing blog posts, my managers and mentors for all the support and guidance, the people that reviewed my application, and everyone in the Sitecore Community.” –Eric Sanner, Solutions Architect

“I am honored to be a part of such a brilliant and talented community. It’s helped me to grow to share my experience, learnings, thought leadership and give back to this amazing community! Looking forward to another year of collaboration, innovation and friendships” –Tiffany Laster, Senior Business Consultant
